News::Staff Personal Picks | Biggest Surprises of 2014

Dealspwn writes: With our Biggest Disappointments of 2014 out of the way, it's on to more positive things once more, namely our biggest surprises of 2014. There's nothing better than a game surprising you, and no finer moments than when previous scepticism is utterly blown away by excellence. if new-gen got off to a bit of a slow start, at least in 2014 there were several titles that really got it right, not to mention some industry changes that blazed trails of redemption and resurgence.

News::The Sunday Seven: How Assassins Creed Rogue smashes Unity

Dealspwn writes: Assassins Creed Rogue has been living under the shadow of Assassins Creed Unity since it was announced that both games would be sharing a release window. When both were moved to the very same day, faithful and eager new-gen fans of course opted for Unity. Sadly, that loyalty was rewarded by a broken and oddly dull entry. But now that weve had time to play through both games, its clear that Ubisoft has released a fantastic Assassins title this year, but one youll have to dust off the PS3 or 360 for. So then, here are seven reasons why Rogue has absolutely smashed Unity.

News::Buzz Aldrins Space Program Manager Review - Softpedia

Softpedia: "Buzz Aldrins Space Program Manager might be the best and the worst way for a video game lover to learn about the space programs that both the United States and Communist Russia launched after World War II in order to explore space and reach the Moon and to make sure that their ballistic missiles were superior to the ones fielded by enemy forces. The experience does have moments when it manages to evoke the complexity involved in designing even the simplest of space-bound payloads, but it often devolves into simple resource management, and the theme, generous as it is, does not manage to shine through."
